Female Peronist Party

The Female Peronist Party (PPF) was the women's wing of the Peronist Justicialist Party of Argentina. The PPF was founded in 1949 by Eva Peron, wife of Justicialist leader Juan Peron, and it aimed to further advance women's rights following their 1947 enfranchisement. In 1951, a total of 109 PPF candidates were elected to offices, including 23 national deputies and 6 national senators. Eva Peron, the most energetic voice behind the movement, died in 1952, and the PPF and all other Peronist organizations were outlawed following Juan Peron's overthrow in a 1955 military coup.
